PS C:\>Copy-DRASharedMailbox -Identifier "CN=SMBsource,OU=Accounting,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp" -Properties @{Name="NewSMB";MailboxStore="LDAP://CN=Mailbox Database 0565232367,CN=Databases,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=First,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp";MailNickname "NewSMB";Container="OU=TempCon,DC=MyDomain,DC=CORP"} -domain MyDomain.corp
